Tourists paying the newly raised $3 cable car fare are once again getting their money's worth. The stop at Bush and Powell, which two of the three cable cars lines use, was finally restored to top shape last Friday by city crews, according to Public Works spokeswoman Christine Falvey. When ChronicleWatch started making calls nearly a month ago, the northwest corner of the intersection was a mess of orange construction tape and collected trash. While cable car riders can now alight or board with ease, drivers should take note: The traffic signal upgrade project at the intersection, and all along Bush Street, won't be done until some time next year.
